Tried on Visio 2007 ... I can't see any difference?

Hi!

I have some problems with the Visio connectors.

I use Visio (2003) within a c#-application. This application gathers
information from a database to draw models in Visio.
To connect shapes I don’t use the glueTo method, but I connect them manually
with various cell entries to be able to connect the shapes and define the
exact path (in the geometry section of the shape ***) in one command
(setResults) and for many shapes at the same time.
This is fast and works quite fine so far. But sometimes there is a strange
rerouting behaviour of the connectors that I absolutely don’t want (nor
understand…).

An example can be found in the following two files (just click the download
button):
http://www.file-upload.net/download-615992/model_reroute.VSD.html
http://www.file-upload.net/download-615995/model_noreroute.VSD.html
It is a copy/paste of exactly the same part of the model. If I draw a new
connection from the event to the function in one case the other connection
reroutes, in the other case it doesn’t. Comparing the two shape sheets of the
connector I couldn’t find any difference. I’ve been sitting on this problem
for hours. Maybe there is someone who can help me? Thanks!

Best regards,
RobM
